Testimonials for Bill Curran
Leadership & Organization Development
During the 40+ years in which I have been active in corporate life, no single individual has had a greater impact on an organization than I observed and experienced with Bill Curran. I attended several of his leadership programs . . . such energy. . . and his Company-wide Customer is King program is without equal reviving interest, discernment and care into the daily activities of so many who had long since relegated them to the routine. Warning: Given a supportive leadership team, Bill Curran will deliver change! When it comes to the issues in the business that matter, he gets it.

In my 9yrs at TI/Sensata, I have never seen or heard of anyone having left a greater mark on the organization than Bill. Not only did he teach leadership, he brought it and left it! People are still referencing and drawing from that work today.

I just wanted to say thanks again for everything you did for the leadership program this week. The time and effort you put in up front to understand our needs and then tailor to meet those was outstanding. You definitely hit a bulls-eye on hearing what the issues were and translating them into the program. Your delivery was world-class - I am getting continuous comments on your style and ability to deliver the message in the most engaging way. The variety of methods you used to keep the interest and enhance the learning for the audience was exceptional and the pace was right on!

I recently had the good fortune to attend the “Leader in You” seminar presented by Bill Curran. Bill brings a lot of energy and passion about the subject of leadership that is infectious to his audience. He has a unique way of connecting with his audience by utilizing real life, practical examples that all of us can relate to. I particularly appreciated his point that investing in leadership skills has proven to have a direct impact on the financial success and longevity of organizations. Any company that is serious about long term success should make the “Leader in You” a required seminar for its key employees.

Bill contributed a great deal to the company and his effectiveness was widely recognized. Each of his training classes provided me with new insights that helped further my career. Not only did Bill teach the classes, he spent time after the classes providing one-on-one coaching and follow-up. I completely attribute my transformation from being a nervous public speaker to a confident and effective public speaker to Bill. I am sure that if you spoke to the several hundred people that Bill trained at EG&G, that each would echo my word.
-Finance Director
EG&G
I enjoyed the opportunity to meet with you and participate in the Leadership program. Your style and lecture materials really captured the attention of the group. When people talk about a lecture or cite examples from it, you know you've had an impact. I will continue to reinforce this learning on a daily basis as well as in performance management.

Johnson & Johnson
Yes, Bill WOW…I was EXTREMELY impressed by the presentation you gave yesterday. You present very well and kept my attention for the whole meeting. I very strongly believe that this program should be implemented company wide.

I spent the last six years in the US Army, and the four before that as a cadet at West Point. I did not presume to know everything about leadership, but I was pretty confident that I knew enough from past courses and real world experiences to doubt the usefulness of this workshop. After attending these classes and spending a significant amount of time with my teammates over the last seven weeks, I can state with confidence that I learned a great deal about myself, working with other people, and the key elements of successful leadership in any organization.

This may be the only class I’ve taken this semester, and even thus far in my college experience, that has made a significant impact and will stay with me for all of my life. Every aspect of this course can be directly applied to not only a business organization, but to personal experience as well. For this reason, the class has made such an impression on me because its lessons can be used realistically and meaningfully.
-OB Class Student
Stonehill College
We invited Bill to speak on the subject of leadership at an annual meeting. Although I had previously had the pleasure and benefit of hearing Bill speak during training events and I recalled how effective he is, his tremendous ability to touch people emotionally on subjects that matter still struck me. His inspirational style results in a learning experience that encourages one to both introspection and a renewed focus on making a difference.
